联合国负责核问题的最高级官员警告说,由于德黑兰没有同他的机构全面合作,他不能核实伊朗所有的核活动都是和平的。
天野之弥是星期一在伊朗禁止两名有经验的核查人员入境之后做出上述表示的。他说,伊朗对这两位核查人员的一再反对在妨碍核查过程。
美国及其盟友怀疑伊朗正在利用它的核项目来发展核武器。德黑兰表示,它的核项目是用于和平的能源目的,并一直在指控核查人员发布错误的信息。
天野之弥在维也纳国际原子能机构召开的一个会议上表示,他对核查人员的公正性有充分的信心。国际原子能机构星期一选择比利时的核专家纳克厄特斯担任新的首席核查人员。
The top U.N. nuclear official has warned that he cannot verify all of Iran’s nuclear activities are peaceful because Tehran is not fully cooperating with his agency.
Yukiya Amano spoke Monday after Iran barred two experienced nuclear inspectors from the country. He said repeated Iranian objections are hampering the inspection process.
The United States and its allies suspect Iran is using its nuclear program to develop weapons. Tehran says the program is for peaceful energy purposes, and has accused the inspectors of putting out false information.
Amano told a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna that he has full confidence in the inspectors’ impartiality. The agency Monday selected Belgian nuclear expert Herman Nackaerts as its new chief inspector.
